About JVS Christmas Lighting in Westwood, NJ

The JVS story goes back to 2005, when Bergen County native Joe Soccodato took his background in electronics, a truck, a few ladders, and a good old-fashioned love for Christmas and turned them into something special.

Joe had always loved Christmas lights. There was just something about seeing a home all lit up that made Christmas feel a little more special.

But for Joe, Christmas has always meant something even greater. At the heart of it all is faith, family, and the true meaning of Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. And that has been part of JVS from the very beginning.

Back then, Joe noticed something pretty simple: everybody loves Christmas lights. Not everybody loved putting them up.

Homeowners and business owners wanted their properties to look beautiful for Christmas, but that usually meant dragging ladders out of the garage, untangling boxes of lights, figuring out why half a strand wasn't working, climbing around outside in the cold, running extension cords, and then doing it all over again in January to take everything down.

Joe figured: there's got to be a better way to do this.

That simple thought became the foundation of JVS Christmas Lighting. Let us handle the ladders, lights, cold weather, electrical headaches, maintenance, and takedown so our clients can spend more time actually enjoying Christmas with the people they love.

JVS grew the old-fashioned way, one home, one business, one handshake, and one referral at a time. It was built on hard work, faith, family, loyal clients, and the belief that if you treat people right, keep your word, and take pride in your work, good things have a way of following.

That's still how we try to do business today.

Today, JVS Christmas Lighting serves families, businesses, churches, and organizations throughout Northern New Jersey, Rockland County, NY, and surrounding communities within our service area.

Some of our displays are simple, traditional, and timeless. Others include thousands of lights and large, detailed commercial installations. But whether we're putting a classic roofline on a family's home or creating a large Christmas display for a commercial property, the job matters to us because the client matters to us.

JVS remains a family-operated company, not a franchise. Joe continues to take a personal interest in the work, our clients, and the communities we're fortunate enough to serve.

That's important to us. Because no matter how much JVS grows, we never want to lose the personal touch and old-fashioned way of doing business that helped build the company in the first place.

To us, Christmas lights have never been just decorations. There's something about light that has always gone hand in hand with Christmas.

For our family, it has an even deeper meaning. Light reminds us of hope, G-d's love, and the birth of Jesus Christ, the Light who came into the world.

That's why we like to think the work we do serves a purpose beyond simply making homes and businesses look beautiful.

If one of our displays makes a child smile. If it brings back a favorite Christmas memory. If a family pulls into their driveway after a long day and seeing their home glowing for Christmas makes home feel just a little warmer. Or if someone driving by slows down for a moment and is reminded of the joy, hope, and true meaning of Christmas. Then what we do has meant something.

Our hope is that through the beauty of Christmas lights, we can spread a little more joy, a little more kindness, and, in our own small way, share the love and message of Christ throughout the communities we serve.

That's a big part of why, after all these years, we still love what we do.

We've always believed something pretty simple: when G-d has blessed you, you should look for a way to be a blessing to somebody else.

The communities we serve have supported JVS for 21+ years, and we believe it's important to give something back.

Through our community and holiday outreach programs, we look for opportunities to use what we have, our time, our people, our resources, our decorations, and, of course, plenty of Christmas lights, to bring some extra Christmas cheer to children, families, organizations, and others in our communities who could use a little more joy during the season.

We don't do it for recognition or a pat on the back. We do it because giving is part of Christmas, serving others is part of our faith, and we believe a local family business should never forget the community that helped it grow.

Today, with 21+ years of professional Christmas lighting experience, JVS provides the whole Christmas lighting experience, from custom design and professional installation to in-season support, maintenance, takedown, and removal.

A whole lot has changed since that first truck and those ladders back in 2005. The equipment is better. The lights are better. The displays have gotten bigger. And thankfully, JVS has grown too.

But the heart behind the company hasn't changed. Work hard. Treat people right. Keep your word. Take pride in anything you put your name on. Remember where you came from. Give back whenever you can. Keep G-d, faith, and family close to your heart. And never forget why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.

For us, Christmas lighting is our craft, but bringing joy to people and helping shine a light on the true meaning of Christmas is what makes it worthwhile.

That's the JVS story. Every Christmas, we're thankful for the families, businesses, churches, and organizations that invite us onto their properties and trust us to become a small part of their Christmas traditions. Some of those clients have been with us for years, and that's something we'll never take for granted.

From our JVS family to yours, may your Christmas always be filled with faith, family, good memories, plenty of laughter, and, of course, plenty of beautiful Christmas lights.
